I've had my fingers crossed that they'll show up on Emu for a while now. Alynda’s also a member of the New Orleans folk marching band collective Why Are We Building Such a Big Ship?

I discovered this record on Amie Street, and I just love it. This is not at all typical for country or folk music, though certainly there are some terrific artists in these genres. But Hurray for the Riff Raff is head and shoulders above anything I've heard. The songwriting is perfect, the minimalistic delivery really works, and her voice is amazing. They should have a major label contract. I totally agree. I discovered this record on Amie Street, and I just love it.
